Supermoon/Super Harvest Moon to Shine Over New York State

The next Supermoon is coming, and this year the extra bright full moon will be a rare Super Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon is always the full moon that falls closest to the Autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. This will also be the first Supermoon in almost a year. 

EarthSky says that the full Harvest Moon "can occur anywhere from two weeks before the September equinox to two weeks after, or between September 8 and October 7".

Time and Date says that this full moon got its name because historically, the extra moonlight this time of year meant that farmers could work and harvest their crops for a longer time in the evenings.

Supermoons occur when the Earth aligns with the Moon and Sun as the perigee (closer) side of the Moon is facing us, and the Moon happens to be on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun. Some would say, it's just a full moon but slightly bigger and brighter from our perspective.
